3.5 out of 5 tiara wearing batsNot
as much action as the first but once it gets going it really has its
moments. Life as fugitives for them seems to go very slow until
Denise’s visions come back with more intensity and urgency than ever
before.The
addition of new characters is a nice plus. I like Gallagher a lot. He
is a douchebag mage but he is a man who when it comes down to it cares
for his people. Him being around is cool too because it lets you see a
bit more of the magic side of things and how they work.The
first book had haunting scenes and great visuals. This one though
blows the first book out of the water in this aspect. The scenes at
the bridge and in the castle are just amazingly inspired. As
Hunt’s powers are shown more and more They bring up the question of
just how strong he is. I love the whole harmonica thing. I want there
to be a soundtrack for the books with how they describe his music.As
things seem to move on in the story I do wonder what will come next. They have already surprised me multiple times with the timing of some
people and at the end of the book I was left with so many question. Will
Denese live? What is next for Hunt and Dmitri? Is the preacher going
to reappear? My biggest question is when Hunt came back Gallagher asked
where he had been for the last three days. DID HUNT make it back
within the deadline?I look forward to reading on to find out more.
